it's supposed to be *October* ?!?!?!

hmmm slow but not sure :roll:

[Cthulhu]

wow!! Is this an amateur competition? Because some of these entries are simply stunning. Really like 2,3,4,5 and 8, but the one that truly stands out is picture 14 - an amazing photograph that would not look out of place on a gallery wall.

Voted nr.3

Great stuff but too many good ones for a quick decision.

Entry 14 rocks!

[CiaranM]

bloody hell .... some cracking shots this month !! need to take some time to pick 1 out!!

[Crustyjuggler]

14 is a lovely piece of photoshop story telling.. A nice long exposure of the street scene with car trails against the tac sharp face of the vagrant. This almost looks like a window reflection so really nicely edited because some would believe this to be a single image..

I was in two minds to vote for this piece of art because of the photoshop and the use of two photographs as opposed to one. So although this is my favorite image i will vote cast my vote for number 4 because it is a pure photograph that fits nicely with the theme.

#3 powerful face

True, but the subject was already sitting there for you to shoot. I prefer something that requires more luck and customizing... Couldn't decide between 2 or 14 but then i went for number 2 bc i loved the little girl's CRAZY eye!! If the pic was cropped a bit better it would look amazing. Definitely would be good as a black and white, too.

[Deester]

14 - Wow!

[CherieAtwood]

Voted for no 3 8)

Pfft to pure photography. Nowt wrong with photoshop trickery.

That said, i'm voting for the pigeons.

[CiaranM]

14 - Wow!

agreed .... don't care if it was photoshopped or not ... this is an amazing image !!!

[babyoiy]

I just love the boy's face in #1

[Hobbes]

i actually thought the blurred background added to the picture and made the little girl's face stand out .... i liked this pic, but still ended up voting for number 14.

[OutOfOrder]

i actually thought pic 1 was very cute and defenitely captured the moment. Once again, if the photo was taken with a better quality camera it would make a whole load of difference... not fair, is it?

[OutOfOrder]

..... and off course there are a few entries that are PAINFUL to look at!!!!

Easiest choice yet . . . #3, "constant reminder"

Technically perfect, judicious use of color, superb range of depth, and nails the theme.

I was never aware of anything on which we disagreed . . . :wink:

[Stramash]

very wide range of shots this month; from the ordinary to the spectacular.

I love No 14; great editing but third in my top 3 this month. Torn between 2 and 3. May have to flip a coin.
